megaplasmid reference?

I am trying to find references and put together a list of all bacteria 
that have megaplasmids.  Although I am not exactly sure where the 
dividing line between a plasmid and a megaplasmid is, I would say any 
genetic unit above 100-200 kb is probably a megaplasmid.  Do you agree?

I know about Alcaligenes, Agrobacterium, Rhizobium, and a few others.  If 
anyone knows of any other bacteria or Archaea that carry megaplasmids, 
could you please write me at lanoilb at bcc.orst.edu?

Thanks, all

Brian
